At this time on Earth, women are returning to the ancient wisdom of our grandmothers. We have returned to rituals \u00a0 celebrating the\u00a0cycles of the moon and sun, traditional healing techniques, herb craft, and practices that connect us with the land and our beauty. RavenWood offers ways to renew, retreat, and connect with soul-sisters and the Earth in a safe and sacred ritual space. We\u00a0each bring our rich and soulful selves to the circle, weaving a tapestry of deep healing in celebration of the wild spirit.<\/p>\n

On a personal retreat or in a women’s group or gathering, RavenWood’s magical forest is a sweet and gentle place to nurture your wise woman self. Renew on the land ~ meditate in the moss garden, walk in the woods, drum and sing at the forest circle, read a book in the garden or the porch, bring your knitting, make art in the studio, sip nourishing herbal teas, meet like-minded women, soak in the healing vibration of the hemlocks and ferns and listen to the singing of the tree frogs and the ancient whispering of the stones.<\/p>\n

\u201cValerianna is a woman of immense power, able to hold tremendous love and compassion for deep, utter transformation. She\u2019s the real deal. The witch in the woods. The one who whispers to the Hemlocks and sings into the deepest places in the collective soul. She is a dreamer, and the dream she is weaving is one of peaceful relations, of knowing one\u2019s truth, of trusting time and staying present. Valerianna creates magic with a healthy dose of irreverent humor that keeps it real. She has been a friend, a teacher, a sister, and a healer to me. In my times of deepest transformation, she has stayed in the room with her grounded presence trusting my own inner knowing while listening to her own direct line to spirit.\u201d – Elena Zubulake<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
